280x crossfire vs 770 sli or 780 ti
im wondering what/wich graphics card/cards to get for my new gaming build. I can go with two 280x's in crossfire, two 770's in SLI or one 780 ti... wich would be the best for me? I am going to max out all settings and play at 1080p with a 144hz monitor. wich would give me the most for my system?

noise does not bother me and im gonna get a super air cooling optimised case

The 880 is between 780 and 780 ti, the new architecture will be able to cut back on costs and keep it below 500 dollars I'd say

The Kepler architecture IS expensive, since it DOES expel much power.
But I think the cost effective Maxwell will find a way to keep that power and cut back on some costs.

I said I hope I'm wrong and I did mention 780ti has a higher cost of manufacturing. Just saying what I think is going to happen =)

If it 880 is:

A) Faster than 780ti it will most likely cost ~$600 and not the $450-$500 everyone is saying (I hope to be wrong) keeping 780ti at the same pricing because of custom cards/higher cost of manufacturing. Overall cost on 780ti will go down a little but companies like PNY/Zotac that are already the least expensive may not decrease any further.

B) Slower than 780ti it should then cost the $450-$500 with a hopeful price drop on 780 to $400.

C) Faster than 780ti and @~$500 would be amazing but I can't picture NVidia making a move like that when they don't have to and can continue to have an edge on AMD so they can charge more.



You're forgetting that new architecture means a few shortcuts on money.

I have heard that rumor also but a lot of people believe with 3200+ cuda cores vs. The 780ti/titan black 2880 880 will yeild better performance than a 780ti.


We'll have to see :p

Also wanted to warn anyone looking for a new GPU that 880 should be out in a month if you can wait as it should be a value/performance leader upon launch.


The performance is between the a 780 and 780 ti I hear, the 890 is out next March the rumours say

depends on how many monitors you have and what res they are


Gonna be playing on one 1080p monitor with 144Hz


Then get a 780 ti, it';ll get over 60fps on a 1080p, and that's when the 144hz comes in to make it look even better
